It was a fun car filled weekend! My uncle has been buying junk and turning it into pretty neat cars! He invited us to TorqueFest, which was in Maquoketa, IA this year. He entered his '55 Dodge-which I got to drive!It was a 'three on the tree' really interesting to drive and a little scary, it takes a good 10 feet to stop the thing with the brake pedal to the floor! And no I didn't kill it!
First up his truckIt has a big emblem of his company on the doors now, he's a plumber, but we forgot to take a picture of it at the show (oops!)
Love the door panels
And before, he paid $600, a pretty sweet truck for $600, although I'm sure he a lot into it. It would be so fun to have a truck like that!
Now back to the scheduled program
Check out the shifter and the gas pedal if you can see it! (the shifter is a sword and the gas pedal is a fork!)
Love the paint!
This was made from a wingtip fuel tank on a Constellation (airplane)
These two were made by a guy 100% by hand! He cut and shaped all the metal.
This is Elvis
And one of my uncle's buddies was in my uncle's shop working on his cars. This was his Charger, he took us for a ride and went 110 mpr!!! That was crazy!
And my uncle's past babies for fun, his Dart
And his Mach 1
Oh and then to top off my fun filled car weekend, I got pulled over for my illegal tint an hour ago on my way home. I've had this tint for 4 years!!! It was 43%-per his meter in front and Iowa law is 75% Booo! And I'm selling it in a month to my sister! Go figure!
